    Off course, I'm single right now, so smurf Valentine's Day.

    I think it's cute. Whether they normally would or need this day to force them, couples make time for each other on this day. Kids share candy with their friends. Single people have their self-esteem tested. It's all in good fun. I do hate cards though.

    Like pretty much all other holidays, I don't get the people who go nuts over them either way, with love or hate. It's just another day.

    I will be celebrating the way I always do; by playing non-stop romantic songs, and watching a romantic movie. I will continiue to celebrate this way, until I am actuall in a realtionship with someone, then I will celebrate with her. Until then, I will love Valentine's Day for what it represents.

    My feelings about the holiday depend on whether or not I have someone to spend it with.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I remember that my primary school did that once. My box had just one little note on it, and to be honest, I'm fairly certain it was secretly written by my teacher out of pity for not getting anything.

    I give people awkward Valentine's cards. Usually strangers.

    Most cards have pop culture references. The ones I'm making this year have ponies on them. Badly drawn ponies.

    Oh my god, this REMINDS ME, I was at a garage sale last Spring and I found really old Star Wars Valentines.

    I drew dicks on them and gave them to all my friends.

    It was a magical Valentine's Day that will be remembered forever.
